            Each vertex of a polygon,
            separate triangle,
            or separate quadrilateral specified between a <a class="citerefentry" href="glBegin"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBegin</span></span></a>/<a class="citerefentry" href="glEnd"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glEnd</span></span></a> pair
            is marked as the start of either a boundary or nonboundary edge.
            If the current edge flag is true when the vertex is specified,
            the vertex is marked as the start of a boundary edge.
            Otherwise, the vertex is marked as the start of a nonboundary edge.
            <code class="function">glEdgeFlag</code> sets the edge flag bit to <code class="constant">GL_TRUE</code> if <em class="parameter"><code>flag</code></em> is <code class="constant">GL_TRUE</code>
            and to <code class="constant">GL_FALSE</code> otherwise.
        </p><p>
            The vertices of connected triangles and connected quadrilaterals are always
            marked as boundary,
            regardless of the value of the edge flag.
        </p><p>
            Boundary and nonboundary edge flags on vertices are significant only if
            <code class="constant">GL_POLYGON_MODE</code> is set to <code class="constant">GL_POINT</code> or <code class="constant">GL_LINE</code>.
            See <a class="citerefentry" href="glPolygonMode"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glPolygonMode</span></span></a>.
        </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><a id="notes"></a><h2>Notes</h2><p>
            The current edge flag can be updated at any time.
            In particular,
            <code class="function">glEdgeFlag</code> can be called between a call to <a class="citerefentry" href="glBegin"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">glBegin</span></span></a> and the corresponding
